Sexy Halloween costumes aren't just for the skinny.

Curvy girls can now express themselves this Halloween with special costumes made to fit them. I took a look at the line and I think they are tasteful and a hoot. The school girl is cute. The dominatrix type is well, uh interesting. But my favorite is the leggy witch and the hottie angel. To check out the entire line, log on to HipsandCurves.com, a Santa Monica-based a plus-sized lingerie web site for full figured divas. Pretty cool, huh? Good Luck and Happy Halloween. -- I will note there is no Snooki Polizzi costume on this site. So, if you are trying to go as the cheap, Jersey Shore chica - which I hear is the number 1 costume this year - you are left to your own devices. Not that she's not plus-sized... She's just so, oh well, Yuck. Anwyay, what do you want to be for Halloween this year?

I’m a Libra so I’m all about pretty things. We of the scales sign know what we like, and our standards are high.

So I can’t help but love fashion – one day I will get that Diane von Furstenberg wrap and those Christian Louboutin shoes.

And fragrances? My favorite right now is Chanel Mademoiselle. As for makeup, can we say MAC?

So let’s thank the Greek goddess of beauty, Aphrodite, that a true fashionista can find everything she needs right here in Philly.

I’ve covered fashion here for six years, and I have traveled to New York, Los Angeles and Paris to write about local and national designers. Let me tell you, there is no place where people wear midnight Eagles green or Phillies red with such wild abandon as they do on the west side of the Ben Franklin Bridge.
